Keep issue ownership aligned with leave coverage

Give Notis the coverage details and issue references, then let it update the assignees where the work lives.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add assignees to an issue

Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.

Why this helps

A coverage change can be agreed in one place while the GitHub issue still points to the previous owner.

  • Update ownership at the point where engineering work is tracked.
  • Make coverage changes actionable from a single request.
  • Reduce follow-up to check whether the issue was reassigned.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Breathe HR and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to update assignees on the supplied GitHub issues according to the Breathe HR leave coverage details in the request.
  • 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real coverage request and verify issue ownership.

Questions about this workflow

Can this assign an issue to multiple people?

The action supports adding or removing assignees. State the intended assignee list clearly and use valid GitHub usernames.

What if the issue reference is missing?

Include the repository and issue reference in the webhook request so Notis can update the right issue.

ActionInstant

Add email for auth user

Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.

ActionInstant

Add app access restrictions

Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.

ActionInstant

Add a repository collaborator

Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.

ActionInstant

Add a repository to an app installation

Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Breathe HR and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
